Easterly, Inglis Suggest Need For Cybersecurity Standards For Private Sector

摘要

The spate of recent ransomware attacks and other cyber-attacks show that the private sector generally isn’t doing enough to protect their networks and that its time for the government to consider imposing security standards or regulations on the nation’s organizations that operate critical infrastructures, two top Biden administration nominees told a Senate Panel on Thursday. Jen Easterly, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with the Department of Homeland Security said that she doesn’t have a comprehensive view of how the private sector is implementing cybersecurity standards, whether through regulation or voluntarily.
